[PSP] Disgaea 2 Portable

Ah, so the rumors were true. Nippon Ichi has announced that Disgaea 2 will be headed for the PSP on March 26th in Japan. This upcoming portable version of the SRPG will feature a 30% longer story as well as new characters. A screenshot also suggests that the Magichange system found in Disgaea 3 will be added to the port, but this has not been officially announced. No word yet on a stateside release, but we see no reason why there wouldn't be one.

It's already 2009 and I am still wading through the Item World in Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness. Yeah, it's a bit sad, but at least I have something to do while waiting for Makai Senki Disgaea 2 Portable.

Speaking of Disgaea 2 Portable, PSPHyper has put up a bunch of screens and info on the game. Here's a list of the new stuff we've learned about so far:

A new scenario for Akutare (Axel in the US version), similar to the Etna Mode in Afternoon of Darkness. Some new stages will be exclusive to this scenario.

And now it's time for screenshots! If the ones below aren't enough, you can find more at the source link. So far, Makai Senki Disgaea 2 Portable hasn't been confirmed for a US or European release, but I'm definitely hoping that NIS America comes through for us on this one.

Fans of the Disgaea franchise left 08 behind with a huge grin on their faces as Nippon Ichiconfirmed the arrival of Disgaea 2 Portable on the PSP. Now let's get on in the new year with more information - and new screenshots - for the said game.

On the other side of the pond, at NIS America, Marketing Coordinator, Nao Zook, definitely wants to jumpstart the year right with a statement that can only be brimming with good vibes all around, saying "Well, at this moment, all I can say is that we won't disappoint our fans who are waiting for Disgaea 2 PSP."

​

As mentioned in the previous report, Disgaea 2 Portable will be getting 30% more content than the original PS2 game, including a scene with Axel, the Dark Hero. And if cameos are your thing, then you're gonna get that here as well. Lord Zetta of the Makai Kingdom, Prier from La Pucelle Tactics, and Mid Boss are making appearances for Adell's team.

​

Do note, however, that it looks like the Japanese version won't have any multiplayer features. But don't lose hope. Maybe the North American release will follow the way of the Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness title, where NIS America waited for a multiplayer ready version before releasing it.

We'll keep you posted on more updates. In the meantime, have your fill of these screenshots for Disgaea 2 Portable.

If you still have any doubts as to the claim of Nippon Ichi that Disgaea 2 Portable "won't disappoint" fans, then this batch of screenshots should sufficiently expel those doubts into permanent silence.

As you will see below, there are lots of new elements included in the game, as well as new characters. Oh, there's also that persistent mysterious screenshot related to Magichange at the end of the pile.

There's a whole bunch of them, so we suggest you start going through them now.
